    Love gently holding my favs in the palm of my hand. There is something real, about seeing characters from different works, side by side, interacting, in this world, my world, in a space I created. Mixing! and matching!! Clothes, accessories, stories. There's just so much there.

      Changing, editing toys so they're more accurate, or detailed or just so they fit more to your preference. It's awesome! It's interaction, it's engaging with the world, and your wants. It's creating something by your own hand, that was not there before. THAT'S PLAYING. Just one of many ways to have a good time.

      Collecting lil things is so important. When you look for it, you find stuff otherwise overlooked. A stray button can be a coaster, an old sock a pillow. Trash can be treasure, can remade. Trash can also just be trash, an overwhelming amount of it when you notice, a grossly preventable amount you realize. Being an adult doesn't mean you don't play, just that you have to be responsible when you do so. Having fun on Earth is your right, but taking care of it is your duty. Not a personal burden, but a collective one we share. When a company takes measures to reduce plastic that we do not need, AND we still get to have the toy we want, that is growth, that is healing. When you refuse to acknowledge the role play has in our adult lives, you also tend to ignore any issues associated with it. And most regrettably, you miss out.

    One thought I've always had about this topic was what if we brought back Bionicle style packaging where the packaging itself was part of the playpattern? Of course, my parents threw out most of my Bionicle canisters anyway...

      @@Doiboy35 To an extent, that's what Monster High did for their coffin releases like Skulltimate Secrets. The problem is that the packaging has to be REALLY useful to justify keeping it: like vital to the play pattern useful. For the brands that can do it, that's super awesome, but it's a big risk and investment of capital, time, and budget that could be used to make packaging cheaper for the customer and company that's also better for the environment.

      ​​@@thedaftbrothersYeah, those Monster High things were pretty big, and I can see the problems that sort of thing can cause. One thing I thought of was maybe more toy companies could go a route I've seen on some online retailers where they have two purchase options: a windowed box or a basic cardboard one. That way, the people who keep their figures mint in box can have their display option while out of box people (like myself) can have a simpler more recyclable option and perhaps even a small discount. The issue with this idea though is that they would have to design and produce 2 box types and brick and mortar stores would still probably opt for the plastic packaging. Still, not sure why so many people seem to be worried about windowless packaging when Figma, SH Figuarts, Robot Damashii, and many other Japanese figure brands have been (occasionally) doing it for ages now.

    11:00 This seems the best solution. A cardboard box inlay and a plastic sheet window. In fact, that's what Hasbro was doing before they removed them. That way you can display them in box and keep them secure in transit.

    Nendoroids aren't toys nor should they be played with as such. There meant to be swappable figures and some people use them for stop motion, but that's the only "play" they get. They are fragile and i've broken one figure and broke a plastic part and damaged my nendoroids paint job (all by accident). Like most figures there just meant to look cool, but the whole box thing to me is an issue least more so in regards to the bootleg market. Once the bootleg companies start to pick up on the change, they will change up there box designs to match, though usually they don't add in the logos and such. Either way I think it's a bad move. If they can figure out a balance to protect the figure and display it in box then by all means I'm solid.

  • @TheLegendaryR2
    @TheLegendaryR2 27 дней назад +8

    I think the difference is it's intended purpose. Unlike action figures, that can be labeled as toys, nendoroids have a high price point, a nice amount of them have small parts or fragile ones, and they are kind of a limited edition since there's only so many of them made most of the time. Nendoroids do have a lot of possibility, but they are mainly meant to be displayed in one pose then moved around every few months or a year so you don't get bored.
    I've never heard anyone call a Nendoroid a toy before so thank you for the unique perspective on Nendoroids. I think in general it's like the difference between a fact and an opinion where both can be right, but one is believed more often than the other because it's proven to be true. So you probably can call a Nendoroid a toy, but not everyone would agree.

  • @yurisei6732
    @yurisei6732 26 дней назад +16

    But the box specifically says "not a toy"!
    The eco-friendly argument is not relevant for nendoroids because the plastic packaging doesn't touch the environment, it stays in boxes in people's houses. It's also like, 1% of the total plastic in a nendoroid, so even if we were throwing the boxes out, it would be a negligible improvement.

  • @matthewvalentyn751
    @matthewvalentyn751 26 дней назад +3

    you mean not everyone keeps every box ever for any figure they get to store things like accessories and potentially the whole figure again if needed? no? oh, I guess just me then...I love the plastic for that reason tbh...

    Another reason why some people would keep toys in packaging is for resale value and dust. If the figure is in the box, it’s not difficult to dust.

    Does it really matter if a Company that makes Plastic Figures makes Plastic Packaging. The fumes from printing the plastic probably kills more exotic animals than the Nendoroid packaging.

    • @thedaftbrothers
      @thedaftbrothers  27 дней назад +13

      In short, yes, it does. Any reduction in the amount of plastic they use, especially single use plastics, is good at the scale they produce on. Sustainability is not an all or nothing effort.
